SECTION HEADER (Example: RESULTS) Subsection Header (Example: Sample Site 1A and 1B)
Make sure you have headings and subheadings in your wikipages. To note, this guidelines here are predominately for the text within the final wikisite. It should be in the default for these wikis. No need for indentations at the beginning of each paragraph, however, spaces between paragraphs are expected. Each wikipage should have links to home page, and other relevant pages.
Below are the format you should use for tables and figures (graphs, Landsat images etc.). (1) The tables can be cut/paste from a Word document. Graphs have to be uploaded (as an uploaded file). I have put two examples below in the proper manner/format. To note, the tables and graphs text are Arial. (2) All aspects of a table or graph should fit in the wikispace. (3) Tables and graphs need to be numbered (right now they just have an XX so that you can fill in the numbers) and need to be mentioned/referred to in the text. Basically, when you talk about the table or graph, you need to put in something like this à (Figure XX) after the sentence in which you first mention the data within it. These can also be easily cut and paste into your presentation (if you are making a separate presentation from the wikisite). Note the location of table versus graphs.

Finally, the references should also be mentioned throughout the paper. Use APA citation: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/. They should be in the correct format both within the text and at the end. Don’t underuse (or overuse) citations – if it wasn’t your idea, or general knowledge, or the information/methods came from elsewhere, then cite it.
